as to your second question, sediment causing sea levels to rise versus melting landbound ice causing sea levels to rise...

Given the subject of the thread, the sediment contribution is much less dramatically affected by an increase in temperature compared to glaciers' vulnerability to rising temperatures. Of course, the sediment is moved into the sea by erosion, excepting wind borne sand and dust (like in the Sahara).
